The battery will put out slightly over 12v and it will run happily on that. The charging system generally puts out over 13v, but it doesn't need this much to run properly. -- BMW K1100LT 750SS CB400F CD250 Z650 GAGARPHOF#30 GHPOTHUF#1 BOTAFOT#60 ANORAK#06 YTC#3 BOF#30 WUSS#5 The bells, the bells.....

OTOH, I chased a problem like this for quite a while with a CB750, and it turned out to not be the carbs at all, but the damn spark plug wires. Ran fine at low RPMs but cut out at 4-5K. Still, the carbs are probably more likely, esp. if he hasn't tried the Berryman's yet.
